Re: Teen Responsibility Loss on Vacation
@2001100 Thanks for the reply. One thing I didn't mention is that I have Seasons. So I am thinking I might need to go into the calendar to make a holiday to go on vacation and check the box for no work or school. So I will try that next time and that might take care of the issue. Not sure if that option is available on the standard calendar without Seasons.
I understand what you are saying about going on vacation during school. I am in the US. So I am used to summer vacations, spring break, winter break, federal holidays, teacher in-service days, etc. with no school. With Seasons, I think the only no school holidays are Harvestfest and Winterfest, but you can add your own. Not sure if anything can be done with base game or the base game expectation is that students attend school every Mon-Fri with no exception. If that is the case, it doesn't track with my experience and what I think is a global experience (granted I know not every place has Mon-Fri as standard school week).
Otherwise the only "responsible" family vacation a sim family with children or teens could take would need to start Friday after school and return by Monday morning before school. Also the game gives children and teens vacation days so I thought taking vacation would use those vacation days with no penalty. In a sense to make up for the fact that sim school is scheduled every Mon-Fri, but realistically there are days off. So I was thinking those vacation days could be used by a child/teen while they were on a vacation with their family for no penalty, but seems like I was wrong. Not sure what the point of child or teen vacation days are if they are day off with penalty.
